Londa's Poppies

16x28 watercolor on Daler Rowney Langton Prestige 140 lb cold press paper completed today, a commission based on an earlier poppy scene.  Both are SOLD.  Poppies from my photos or imagination used to create this lighthearted scene; every color in my palette is within the composition.  One at the top is so happy that it is pointing downward to the others.  Negative painting was done throughout with pods, stems, and leaves.  A direct painting style is employed for a fresher look as only one application of watercolor is put down.
